Tracee Ellis Ross works a sexy yellow dress as she and co-star Laurence Fishburne promote their new Black-ish sitcom in NYC

It's expected to be one of the breakout hits of the US Fall TV season, so stars of the new Black-ish sitcom, Tracee Ellis Ross and Laurence Fishburne, were doing their best to promote the series.

41-year-old Tracee and 52-year-old Laurence attended the Entertainment Weekly & ABC Upfronts Party at Toro on Tuesday in New York City, after stepping out earlier from Trump International Hotel in the city.

Tracee made sure she got everyone's attention in a bold, bright yellow dress with art deco-like shoulder design that fit her like a glove. She added another unexpected pop of colour with pink pumps.

Laurence wasn't about to be left in the shade either by his dazzling co-star, as he sported a cool purple suit and kept his sunglasses firmly in place.

Black-ish, a single-camera comedy centres on a middle-class African-American family, is due to premiere on ABC in September

Laurence plays the head of the family, Pops. Laurence and Anthony are also executive producers on the sitcom, which was created by Kenya Barris.

The
tagline for the series is: 'Andre Dre Johnson has a great job, a
beautiful wife, Rainbow, four kids and a colonial home in the 'burbs -
but has success brought too much assimilation for this black family?'

Dre and Rainbow have four kids Zoey (Yara Shahidi), Jack (Miles Brown) and Diane (Marsai Martin) and Andre Jr. (Marcus Scribner). While dad Dre tries to reconnect with his roots, his children appear less interested in finding out about their ancestors.

The first episode was directed by James Griffiths, known for his work on Episodes and Up All Night and who also made his movie directing debut earlier this year with the dancing comedy Cuban Fury.

Although Laurence has done plenty of TV work over the years it is for his movie roles in hits like The Matrix franchise, Fantastic Four and What's Love Got To Do With It (where he played Tina Turner's husband Ike) that he is best known.

In between his TV commitments to Black-ish, Laurence is scheduled to appear in a new Batman/Superman film as Perry White due to be released in 2016.
